The Gator Squad is an organization that removes nuisance alligators from residential areas. They are anticipating a very busy next few days in the Houston area as water rises.

The five-foot male gator will be relocated by Kroboth to more hospitable surroundings, likely an alligator farm south of Houston.

His appearance serves as a reminder that as rains continue to pound Houston off and on for the next few days, this won't be the only alligator to make a cameo in neighborhoods and other public settings.

As the habitats of these animals, be it an alligator or snake, become more saturated, they will seek dry ground and might be in search of food, which could hard to come by.

Always use your best judgement and call local authorities if you encounter wildlife as you are likely not trained to deal with them.
